Big Brothers Big Sisters concluded a successful year of Bowl For Kids’ Sake fundraising, surpassing its goal of $250,000 for its mentorship programs across Northeast Indiana.
Presented by Pro Resources, the annual bowling fundraiser hosted in Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko and Noble counties drew in hundreds of players across its sessions this March. Each team had a BIG goal to raise $500 for Littles in BBBS programs and those on the waitlist, with special “Kids’ Champs” teams going above and beyond to raise $5,000. Fundraising continued throughout the month and culminated in more than $250,000 raised. Each county will retain the funds it raised to support current and future matches in the region, according to a news release from NEI BBBS.
People from across these counties came together not only to support our youth programs financially but also with their time, with many being moved to seek out more ways to get involved. During Bowl For Kids’ Sake, BBBS received 153 inquiries from individuals looking for one-time volunteer opportunities, occasions to host presentations, and ways to become mentors.
